How to make a DIY Pikler climbing triangle

 





























Tools and materials:

Speed square

Drill press

Belt sander

Plunge router

Router bits

Random orbit sander

Wood turning tools set

Forstner bit set

Centre drill countersink bit

Table saw

Cordless drill

Emmi Pikler was a Hungarian pediatrician and she designed this climbing toy so kids can practise climbing and other kinetic skills. In this video I make my version of it, out of 15mm plywood and spruce.


I first cut my sides on the tale saw. I then rounded over the edges on the bandsaw and made a few pilot holes on the drill press. 


To duplicate the same parts I added two nails as pins so I can make my marks. 


I then used my drill with forstner bits to make the holes for the dowels. 


I wanted the dowels to fit snuggly so I trimmed their edges using the the table saw. 


I then pre drilled pilot holes and screwed the dowels in place. 


I then rounded over everything using a round over bit on my router. 


Next I made the locking mechanism. 


Finally I made the ladder which is also a slide. I made it out of solid spruce. I first glued and nailed the steps in place. I also screwed them just to be sure. 


Next I turned two ball shaped pieces. These act as locking pins for the ladder. But they are also handles for the slide. 


And that was it. My little piker was ready. I am really happy with the way it came out. See you soon with a new project video.
